Droid 4 as a Global Phone?

Hello all,
I tried searching but couldn't find some of the info I needed on this and was hoping to get some answers here.
I have a Droid 4, I have it rooted and am running Liquid Smooth on it. So far so good, works like a charm.
I go to Brazil often and needed a phone there, so I was just going to bring my droid and insert a chip. The actual radio / phone will work, but it would not send any text messages to save its life. It wasn't a 3G / account with internet service so I couldn't even check that piece of it unfortunately.
But I was wondering if there is anything specific I need to do in order to get it to work outside the country that I'm missing. Or if it is the lack of data package, and why would calls work but not SMS?
And and all help is appreciated.

Anyone?

what do you mean insert a chip ? another sim card or so

Yep, another Sim card from another country.

k that's good
to get it to work in brazil you have to change some build.prob entries to get it work there
the telephone is not a global phone it ist locked by verizon but outside US you can use GSM Network and to get work you have to change some things
use a build.prob editor you finde some in the store
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0
ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=1
ro.telephony.default_network=3
ro.telephony.gsm-routes-us-smsc=0
ro.mot.phonemode.vzw4gphone=0
persist.radio.lte.mm.disable=1
ro.mot.lte_on_cdma=0
persist.radio.ap.phonetype=1
but it could be thet if you go back to verizon that you have to change it again

I used my Droid 4 in Germany with no problem this spring. Calls, SMS, data - everything worked. I did have a data package with the SIM, so IDK if that is necessary to send SMS. You probably have to check with the carrier....
When I logged into the network the first time the carrier automatically send me some packages to install the necessary APNs and settings via SMS and I was good to go. when I returned, I just popped in the Verizon SIM and the phone automatically reverted to the Verizon APN.
I am on rooted stock.

Since you are running a custom rom, you may want to read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766479

Data connection OK, but no voice calling

im using my SGN4 in a brazilian carrier, and everything was working perfectly till from nowhere the phone lost connection from network.
I was unable to make phone calls , but strangely my 4g connection was on i could browse on the web normally. How this is possible? I popped out the sim card and tried in another phone, it worked normally. I also tried another carrier on SGN4, i was ok too. Anyone have an idea what is going on?

factory reset, problem persists, i have data connection, but cant make phone calls.

Is the phone unlocked. Yes I have to ask.
BAD ASS NOTE 4

Yes it is as I told I was using it with my Brazilian SIM card

Is their anyway to check if it still unlocked. I know some people said when they unlocked it was a temp unlock. Did you check APN to make sure they set right for that carrier
BAD ASS NOTE 4

hey guys, im back to this post because the problem persists.
Here is the scenario:
I bought the phone from a Swappa Seller. Phone is t-mobile branded and was in the box, Brand new.
http://swappa.com/listing/ZPB505/view
Brand New Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910T White ( UNLOCKED) 32GB
Phone is brand new in its original box. The phone has never been used. All Accessories are still sealed in plastic - The phone model is SM-N910T. This is a great deal on a BRAND new - NEVER USED phone!
This phone is guaranteed to work with AT&T. There is no regional lock whatsoever

Can anybody tell me why a T-mobile unlocked phone won't work with T-mobile?
I used the phone on my carrier and it was flawless. Everything was fine till suddenly i lost phone signal. It always show "NO SERVICE" message now, but strangely I still have 4G Connection. I can use the phone to navigate, not to make phone calls.
So I swapped carriers, and the phone was working ok, phone calls, data connection.... then the thing happened again: no service, but i have 4g LTE connection.
Inserted a third sim card, from another carrier. Phone is fine, workin as it should! But this is not my main sim card and i would like it very much to work with ANY carrier. Do you guys have any idea what the problem is? Factory reset did not work at all. For the others sim cards, it recognize the network for a second and then "no service". How can i have data connection if there is "no service"?
Im really desperate because i payed a lot for this note 4... Maybe if i root the phone and flash another ROM?
help please!

Is that possible that previous owner reported is lost and now imei is blocked? Your carrier may participate in that program.

thank you im going to check with my carrier.

* BUMP *
Sorry to revive this old thread, but has anybody figured this out?
I too have data with No Service (no voice) when roaming to the USA from Mexico (Telcel). My Note 4 was purchased on T-Mobile USA (contract free) but got it unlocked by gsmunlockers.
Everything was perfect until I got my Note 4 upgraded to 5.1.1 rooted. I have tried several other ROMS and Basebands with no avail.
Any ideas?
Cheers!

[Q] Modem issues - cannot make calls or connect to 3g.

Yesterday, my 2013 Moto X (international model) started behaving VERY strangely. My 3g connection just died, and I stopped being able to make or receive calls - SMS works fine though, and my signal is very strong.
I can't make calls, the call just dies before even trying to ring, and people calling me just go straight to voicemail. Also, in the status menu my Network Type and Phone Number are listed as Unknown. I also tried rebooting into "Factory" mode through the Bootloader and found that my phone ICCID is also listed as Unknown. IMEI is fine though. It's so weird and frustrating.
I called my cellphone service provider (Movistar Chile), and they reset my network profile and gave me a new SIM card as well, to no avail whatsoever. The problem still persists even after a reflash (through fastboot) of the stock 4.4.4 firmware.
Is my phone dead? Or could it still be a solvable issue, be it network or phone fault?

If sms works and not phone, it's not your radio connection to the carrier, so sounds like a carrier issue if reinstalling firmware didn't help.
Did you do anything at all to your device before this happened? Though reflashing firmware should have corrected anything.
I'd be calling the carrier again.

If it were hardware, Usually sms wouldn't be working either.... Usually.

No, that's the weird thing. I hadn't done anything to the device before it happened, I was literally just chatting through the Facebook Messenger app when my data connection died and it hasn't reconnected since then.
I did call my carrier again, and they issued a ticket to tech support, so I guess I have to wait for their resolution as well.

Wait, sms works... But not phone calls Or data?

Precisely. I can SEND and RECEIVE text messages, but I can't MAKE or RECEIVE phone calls, and data is completely disconnected.

Not sure about phone, but for data... Google your carriers APN settings and see they match yours. In mobile settings, access point names.
---------- Post added at 08:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------
Did you completely flash everything with fastboot and mfastboot?
Have you tried RSD Lite? Same Android version for your exact model of course. (this will wipe your phone completely.... Do backup anything important and transfer off the phone)

1. Yes, I already tried that. APN's are correct, I deleted and re-entered them just in case anyway. No change.
2. Yeah, I actually reflashed twice with different stock firmwares for different carriers with fastboot and mfastboot.

Well, it's sounding like hardware failure then unfortunately.
The only other thing to check, is that you have the correct radio installed. If you flashed stock, you should... But I'd double check. I don't have the answer to which is the correct one for you, you may need to search on that, or hope you can find someone here to compare too.
---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 AM ----------
If you are within warranty period... You may want to go that route.
With sms working, I still suspect sim/carrier issue... But if they are no help, what can you do.

Yeah I know, I starting to fear hardware failure myself. I guess I'll wait to see if the carrier fixes it, otherwise I'll have to get a new phone :/

It could also be an issue with your SIM card. Maybe try turning the phone off, removing SIM and booting. Then Turn it off again and re-insert the SIM and boot again. You can also see if your local carrier store has another SIM card that they can test it with.

I got a new SIM card from my carrier yesterday, after I complained. Problem persists.

Finally, I took the phone to the official Motorola service where I live and they confirmed it was a hardware fault, and as I had unlocked the bootloader I'd have to pay an outrageous amount for them to fix it (motherboard had to be replaced). So I decided to get a new phone instead, and now I happily own a brand new Nexus 5.
Thanks for the help anyway

[Q] Help with AT&T Moto X gen 2

I mistakenly (for full price) bought the AT&T X Gen 2 from motorola store instead of the pure edition, and realized it too late to return the device. Since I am on tmo, I tried to get it unlocked by AT&T - who were completely unhelpful. I then bought an unlock code, which seemed to have successfully unlocked it (put in the tmo sim, asked for code, input the code and it accepted it). Now - the phone can make calls (both with the tmo sim, and with an AT&T sim), but no matter what I do - there is NO data capability. Works fine with Wifi, but both with tmo or at&t SIMs, there is no data connectivity.
I am wondering if the unlocking process didn't work right, and has the radio stuck in some weird state - which makes data not work. I have tried hard resetting the phone etc - but no luck thus far.
Any suggestions? Is there a way to flash the radio to revert it back to factory settings with data working. Anything else I could try? Is there a factory AT&T ROM that I can "officially" restore the device using?

Out of curiosity, how did it take you over two weeks to figure out you bought the wrong device?
Did you set the proper TMo apns?

Unfortunately - this was ordered by someone else for me while I was traveling. It arrived, but by the time I got it in my hands it was too late
Yes - tried the tmo APNs and no luck. I also factory reset back to AT&T defaults and still no data (with an AT&T SIM). It shows a "gray" 4G icon, but that's it.

I was hoping that there was some official tool that would allow me to flash the factory ROM (or something similar) that would fix whatever the unlock code screwed up. Even the phone gets relocked - i don't mind. I am happy to use it with AT&T.

Turn off phone, Take sim card out, do a factory reset, let it boot up, then shutdown, insert sim and turn the phone back on.

Tried that before - but will try again. Will report shortly.

No luck. Did as you suggested. Still shows a grayed out 4G icon. The data settings seem right - shows the AT&T APN. browser says phone is offline.

have you tried changing the network type to 3g and seeing if it will pick up data?

and then if it does pick up data, then switch it back to lte after a few seconds and see what happens.

Mi 9 - Android Q Mobile Network isn't available

Hi,
I just bought a Mi 9 for my gf as Birthday gift and have a big problem with it.
We use her Simcard from her further phone, which works there without issues, but the Mi 9 just let her use Data on the simcard (internet). No calls or texts in-/ outbound are possible. It always shows that no mobile network is available.
I already readded all APNs (Internet, LTE, GPRS) and tried a couple different network settings (*#*#4636#*#*). I'm not sure why this issue appears and searched allover the internet. Seems like noone else have this problem.
Version is 11.0.2.0(QFAMIXM) with locked bootloader. Could it be that seller flashed something wrong, modem type or whatever? Carrier lock wouldn't let us use the actual sim right? My own sim as well just work with data so it need to be an issue with the phone.
Thanks in advance
Chris

Noone have any idea what the issue could be?

This seems like an operator related issue and probably has nothing to do with the Mi9. Try operator related forums for more help. The only thing that comes to mind is to get a new sim from the operator.

Question:
Does mi9 recognize the SIM Card? Does mi9 ASK for your SIM Card PIN? Or does mi9 say 'no SIM Card installed'?

Hi,
Sim is recognized and contacts shown. Sim pin is deactivated so the Phone don't ask.
Mobile Network is shown and active and data/ internet works. Its just the GPRS funtions (Text, Calls) which don't work. When I try to call I get the "Mobile Network isn't available" message and texts don't sent.
Thanks

The Sim works fine in another phone and my sim which works as well, shows the same errors in the Mi 9. So it must be an phone issue.

What operator do you use? What operators are the respective cards you have tried in the Mi9? Did you buy the phone from a private person and not new in a sealed package? In this case contact the seller.

Do you have 2 simcards installed?
You also might try to reset the modems, howto you can find when searching the forum

Just 1 sim installed. 2nd slot shows the same issues. Will check the forum for modem reset thanks.

Hi,
Weirdly the phone seem to have a Carrier Lock. My gf uses SMART Prepaid here on the Philippines and as said just mobile data was working. Yesterday she switched the SIM for testing to Globe and with this SIM everything works. 4G is available and calls/ texts work as they should.
I'm still confused about this. If the Phone would be carrier locked, should another Carrier SIM not be functional at all? I don't get why Data connections are working then.
For now the solution is to get another SIM. Probably let it unlock in a store.
Regards
Chris
